Has anyone gone from a camera similar to the SX200 to the G15 or G16 and what have you thought?

I have the SX 200 and am not satisfied with the reaction time.
I am looking into the G16 but am reluctant to spend $450 on it
not really knowing if it is worth it.
Has anyone gone from a camera similar to the sx200 to the g16 and was
it worth it?
thanks

I assume you're shooting his swing which is a form of action photography. If I'm right the best way to improve your results is to improve your technique, which costs nothing but takes a bit of thinking & practice. Thinking because you need to understand what settings fit the situation & how to set the camera to them. Technique comes into play when it comes to holding the camera STEADY, which is rarely done while using the LCD to frame the shot if hand holding. I don't own either of your choices but have a G9 which I've used for years but mostly as my underwater camera but even it would be an improvement over your SX200. The SX200 has a "slow" lens (f3.5 max aperture) while the G16 has f1.8 which is twice as fast (requires half the light all other settings being the same) which means under the same lighting conditions the G16 will use a shutter speed that's twice as fast as the SX200 would. Right now you only get 1 FPS (frame per second) while the G16 can do from 6 to 12 FPS depending on settings & having good light. More importantly it has a viewfinder (electronic) which allows you to hold it against your face to frame & time the shot AND keeps it more stable. You would however loose some of your current lens reach because the G16 only has about 1/2 the telephoto reach.
If you take the time to read these articles I've wrote for a couple of other forums I belong to it might help you understand why things work the way they do & why developing technique is the key to better photos.

Has anyone gone from Netweaver 7.0 to Enhancment Pack 1 on a BW system ?

Would like to know how the change went for you ?   Problem areas ?
Were you using it with Business Objects and Webi, so did you see the improvements in MDX performance ?

Just for anyone's information.   We were told we had to use ERP Enhancement Pack 4 (containing Netweaver Enhancement Pack 1) as we also have SEM and FIN-BASIS components on our systems.
We had to go thru several notes and bypass error messages to get it in to our sandbox, but have it there now. Are starting to test the functionality.   I will post another question about activation for NW Enhp 1, as that is not clear. But I'm am considering this one closed.
Thank you

Has anyone gone to Europe from US and used the IPAD charger with only a plug adadpter and had no problems?

Has anyone gone to Europe from the US and used the IPAD charger with only a plug adapter? I want to be sure I won't burn up my IPAD.

Just using an adapter will be fine. The charger can handle to 220V just as well as the 110V

Has anyone used Malwarebytes or anything similar to protect Mac from virus etc

Has anyone used Malwarebytes or something similar to scan Mac for virus and other security and effiency problems?

I should have been more specific, I wasn't given a Mac to keep, I was given a Mac to clean up. I have almost 20 years experience working with personal computers and I've worked on every major OS that's been released during that time (OS/2, every version of Windows since 3.1, Linux, Mac OS, Unix). I no longer work in a shop specifically fixing computers but my family still gives me their computers to look at whenever they have issues. My cousin just gave me her laptop since she was unable to fill out any web forms that would try to verify her e-mail address, plus she kept getting pop ups to run some MacKeeper software. Had this been a computer I received second hand I would have re-installed the OS regardless of the state it was on, but since she needs the files on her computer for school I figured it'd be much easier to run a Mac OS equivalent of Malwarebytes than to backup everything and re-install the OS.
Unfortunately when you search the internet for a Malwarebytes alternative for Mac OS, the majority of the time you just get posts from people saying "Macs are super secure, don't worry about it you won't get infected", which is a completely useless response for someone whose computer is infected. The rest of the posts responding to people who ARE infected are much like your response "Just re-install the OS" but that doesn't address the underlying issue of what's infecting the computer for those people who can't afford to lose everything. I was eventually able to Google the symptoms of this issue and determine that it was a trojan known as DownLite or VSearch. Once I found where it was located I opened up a terminal, ran sudo su to elevate myself to root, deleted the VSearch folder and files from the terminal, ran ps ax | grep VSearch to find the running application and did a kill -9 [pid] to terminate the app (rather than rebooting.)
Once that was all done I was able to use Chrome and Safari without all of the popups and hijacks. It took all of 5 minutes once I knew what the underlying issue was but I was really hoping to find a program like Malwarebytes so I could just let it scan the computer and tell me "These applications are malicious..." especially since my cousin installed a lot of stuff I would consider junk on her laptop and I didn't want to delete things that are just harmless junk (since she might use them.) Since I ended up having to do this all manually I'm just hoping there's nothing else lingering on the computer that didn't have visible symptoms.

Has anyone moved from Sky to BT Vision - opinions ...

Hi. My Sky contract is up at the end of July and I want to move to BT vision.
I'm wondering has anyone gone through this process and what are your thoughts on the new service?
How did the transition go? How much are you saving? What are the call centres like (I know they have Indian call centres like Sky I've heard that you need to keep the STB on all the time. Is this true?
Also, does the router need to be near the tv? This wouldn't be possible in the place I live at the moment. Would a wireless bridge work?
Basically all I'm watching is Sky Sports 1 and 2 (I also have SS3 and 4 which I don't watch) and Freeview, plus I've got BB,HD + 2 pack, and I'm paying £63.50. Its just too much.
I'm hoping moving to BT Vision I could cut my bill in half.
Cheers.

Many thanks for everyones replies they have been most helpful
I cancelled Sky last night and got my MAC code! Should be disconnected at the end of July.
How long will it take from placing an order with BT to getting package and STB in the post? I'm thinking of ordering at the beginning of July.
About the STB issues I wold rather turn it off. It will be connected to an 8 way power adapter with amps and 50 inch tv etc all connected. I really don't want to leave all that on standy when I'm out. I never schedule record never and I don't mind waiting to for the box to boot up, even if it takes 5 minutes.
Cheers.

HAS ANYONE GONE OVER THE 2GB DATA PLAN???

JUST WONDERING HAS ANYONE GONE OVER THE 2GB DATA PLAN? IS THAT ENOUGH DATA FOR THE MONTH? EVERYDAY NORMAL USAGE ANY INPUT WILL HELP THANKS!!!

before returning .. i have used my iphone for 10 days and my data usage was 20 MB ! I was scared i will over shoot, so i always used in wifi hotspots and i kept my 3G and data off . ! But i dont think you will overshoot even if you check mails or browse a lot. Unless you want to see movies or video conference.

Why does Epson app for the iphone show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll?

Why does the Epson app for my iphone 4 show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll for months now?

Thanks @pdroth. I did a quick Google search of DB indexing. I'm not sure I found exactly what you were referring to but I see where you're going with it. I can understand that indexing my database of stored photos can be time consuming. It's frustrating that the space can't be recognized as being free more quickly.
I notice that some items I delete seem to free up the space much more quickly. Removing an app entirely or deleting from my Music generally shows up as available space in Usage pretty quickly.
Deleting a photo or video from the Camera Roll will take MUCH longer, so I guess that has something to do with the indexing process you are referring to.
I'd like to point out that when I run out of space on an SD card on any budget point and click digital camera that I can quickly delete a picture or two and INSTANTLY be able to take a couple of new photos in their place. I guess I just have that same expectation for the $500+ engineering marvel I have in my hand right now.
Thanks for chiming in.

Has anyone switched from Cincinnati Bell Wireless & brought over their BlackBerry Z-10 to Verizon successfully ?

Hi seabee1,
I heard some folks switching over from that carrier but winding up getting new devices. Did you port your number over to our network? If so, did we suggest getting a new device? Share some details.
Thank You,

Has anyone switched from IronMail to IronPort?

I'm currently in the process of evaluating both IronPort and IronMail appliances. I was hoping some of you had switched to IronPort from IronMail and would be willing to share your experiences including pros and cons you've seen and what made you leave IronMail to go with IronPort.
Thanks in advance.

Echoing what lvde said, there are many, many IronMail ripouts in IronPort's history ranging from small companies to some of the largest organizations in the world. But some of the customers who have replaced IronMail have policies not to publicly disclose their security vendors or vendor selection decisions. Since I don't know which customers have what policies I can't share these customer names but your local IronPort account team can get you a list of relevant customers that are OK with their names being shared. Some of these customers may also be willing to tell you their decision justification.

Read: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4436
It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
Symptoms
A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
Resolution
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
Which is exactly what eelw wrote.

When I transfer photos from my camera to my computer, where does the computer store them?

When I transfer photos from my camera to my computer, where does the computer store them?

Assuming you're using iPhoto 09 or later.
By default the photos are stored in the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder.
The iPhoto Library is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. This is a simple protection from users inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
As an FYI: There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

I have just updated to LR5. I also have a new Camera. Nikon D800. Trying to import directly (from camera) into LR. But unsuccessful. Getting the following message. "The files are from a camera which is not recognised by the raw format support in Lightroom." How can I import please?

Hi,
I assume you mean the Nikon D810 because D800/800E support has been there since Lightroom 4.1
Currently, because it is a new camera (D810) the only support is in a RC of ACR 8.6 for Photoshop CS6 and CC, as the RC runs out on 31 August it is expected support will be there in the next dot release of Lightroom.
Current limitations are that only full sized NEF is supported.
If you wish to import to Lightroom 5.5. you will need to download the DNG Converter v8.6RC and convert the NEF files (full size RAW ony) to DNG then import into Lightroom 5.5

Do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple log and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

I cannot play my rented movie because itunes cannot locate where the original file, has anyone face this problem before? Where can I find the location of the downloaded movie?

What did you use to download it with? iPad? iPhone? Computer?
If it's an iPad/iPhone, play it using the videos app.
If on the computer, look on the left side of iTunes in the library under movies.

Since I downloaded the latest PSE12 update, when I download images from my camera into Organizer on my iMac, the application freezes.

Since I installed the latest PSE12 update, when I download images from my camera into Organizer on my iMac, the application freezes. If I "force quit" then it seems to download them, but will do nothing else, including verifying and deleting the images from my camera. It worked fine prior to the update.

Dear Steve--
You are the man--a true Apple genius. Your suggestion worked.
Thanks you so much.
